Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A Fine unmarked copy with a near Fine dustacket which is price clipped. 376 pages. Coloured map endpapers. An original and troubling account of the decline and fall of the world's second superpower and not since the harrowing accounts of the famines and purges of the Stalin era has so much new and damning information been brought together to expose the monumental brutality bhind the Soviet cause. The authors point out that the physical and human degradation was brought about by the force, not the failure, of the Communists' Utopian ambitions. Untrammelled power has produced an ecological and human disaster of biblical proportions, the consequences of which will be endured for generatins to come. The facts speak for themselves with 103 cities and a population of 70 million that suffer atmospheric pollution that exceeds safe levels by a factor of five, 75 % of surface water is contaminated by one or more pollutants, the rivers Volga and Don have been reduced to chemical sewers, two thirds of the Aral Sea has become an arid, sterile desert and the ecosystems of the Black and Caspian Seas may be damaged beyond repair. One lake near Chelyabinsk has been so polluted by waste from a military installation that it contained 24 times as much radioactive material as was released at Chernobyl. A most erudite work with map endpapers showing the problems and other maps in the text. 23 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…

Alfred Friendly Jr. This work studies of the relationship between pollution and health in the Soviet Union. Foreword by Lester Brown. A look at the impending health and environmental disasters in the Soviet Union discusses the shortage of appropriate surgical instruments, the dangerous concentration of pollution in some cities, the prevalent use of the banned pesticide DDT, and more. Murray Feshbach (August 8, 1929 October 25, 2019) was an American scholar focusing on the demographics of the Soviet Union and demographics of Russia, including population, health, and environment. He was a Senior Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center. Alfred Friendly, Jr. American, b. 1938. Genres: Documentaries/Reportage, Writing/Journalism. Career: New York Times, NYC, correspondent; Newsweek, NYC, worked as correspondent and bureau chief in Moscow. Writer on health and environmental issues for the U.S. Congress and the World Bank. Publications: (with R.L. Goldfarb) Crime and Publicity: The Impact of News on the Administration of Justice, 1967; (ed. with E. Yankelevich) Andrei D. Sakharov, Alarm and Hope, 1978; (with M. Feshbach) Ecocide in the USSR: Health and Nature under Siege, 1992; Editor, Gribkov, Anatoli I., and William Y. Smith, Operation ANADYR: U.S. and Soviet Generals Recount the Cuban Missile Crisis, 1994. Derived from an article in The Library Journal by Robert Decker, Los Angeles. Demographer Feshbach and journalist Friendly show how 70 years of unregulated industrial pollution have both devastated the Soviet environment and created a host of medical problems that Russia's primitive health service is inadequate to handle. Having turned a vast proportion of its farmland and forests, lakes, and rivers into toxic waste dumps, Russia now has neither the technology nor the money to clean up Chernobyl and the Aral Sea, not to mention the many less-famous disaster areas documented here. The authors conclude there will be no real progress short of a total cultural transformation. Well written, this will interest many well-informed readers.
